Quick Tomato Sauce

I’m the first one to say it – I got my cooking skills from mom. I grew up with my mom cooking dinner for us every night. And it wasn’t gross, I’ll-only-eat-it-because-I-am-forced food. It was homemade pasta with meatballs, chicken stir-fry, and homemade enchiladas – Real, down-to-earth, delicious food.

Because I saw my mom cook dinner every night, I knew that when I grew up I wanted to do the same. And that’s exactly what I did.

I cook for my husband every night. And when we have kids, the cooking will not stop. They will get to see their mom cook homemade meals every day, just like I did. And hopefully they will grow up and want to cook as well.

There are staple recipes that I learned from my mom that I will make forever. One of them is this Quick Tomato Sauce. When there isn’t enough time to cook a tomato sauce that needs to simmer for hours, you can make this easy tomato sauce. It requires few ingredients and the recipe couldn’t be simpler.

I normally allow the sauce to simmer for about 30 minutes, however, if your super short on time, you can cook the sauce for just 5 minutes and it still tastes fantastic. I’ve done this multiple times and I could barely taste the difference.

Serve this sauce over pasta, on top of homemade pizza crust, in your favorite chicken dish, or even as a dipping sauce. It’s so versatile and can be used in many different ways.

I always make a big batch of this sauce and keep it in the refrigerator. It keeps well and it’s always great to have extra tomato sauce on hand.
